I Want to be Rich
Yes, I want to be rich. No, I’m not talking about financially rich. I don’t need lots of money. I want to be rich in other things. I want to be rich in freedom. I want to be rich in friendships. I want to be rich in spirit. I want to be rich in love. This train of thought started when I was thinking of what makes me happy and what I think will make me happy in the future. Having and spending money really doesn’t excite me or make me exceedingly happy. Yea, I’m not going to lie spending a big chunk of change gives a lot of gratification, but only in the short term. For me, that euphoria wears off quickly. The things that really make me truly happy are not monetary things. I don’t want a super fancy car. I don’t want a ginormous house. I don’t feel the need to prove to other people that I have money. For example, my current car is a 1999 Chevy Malibu with over 100k miles. I love that car. I know I can afford a nicer car, a newer car, but I don’t feel the need to. I like having a car that i bump a curb without caring or drive as rough as I want. I like that freedom. I want to live a life with as little stress as possible. Spending lots of money and then having to manage debt brings stress. I want to live my life such that I have the financial freedom so that I don’t have to work if I don’t want to. I want to know that if something horrible were to happen and I couldn’t or didn’t work for months that I’d be ok.
The other thing that really brings me happiness is the people around me. Whether these people are close to my physically (i.e. my local friends) or just close to my heart (my family and my friends across the country). They are the ones that make me happy. For my family and my close friends I would do anything in my power to help them without hesitation. They are the ones I care deeply about.
That to me is being rich.
No one else has the balls to comment on this.
I think this post is admirable, and demonstrates a mature understanding of human need. I find myself with these same thoughts quite often. It’s funny how often our culture puts a monetary value on everything, when in reality the most basic human needs are priceless.
